Wynonna Judd’s husband had a horrific motorcycle crash
In 2012, Wynonna Judd and her husband-slash-drummer Michael Scott “Cactus” Moser endured the unthinkable: an accident that almost claimed Moser’s life. According to CNN, the pair set out on a motorcycle ride before their concert in Deadwood, S.D.
They were riding on separate bikes when Moser “collided with an oncoming vehicle.” His “left leg was severed at the scene of the accident” and he was transported to a hospital where doctors had to amputate the rest of his leg “above the knee.”
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Wynonna described the horrific ordeal. “I run back, and he’s just laying there and I hear nothing. And then I heard the most beautiful sound on Earth, and that is him going [breathes deeply],” she said.
According to Billboard, Wynonna continued her tour less than a month after the accident. About 15 months later, her husband joined her again on stage. “One day you lose your leg,” she told Entertainment Tonight, “the next day you go on tour.”
